Gazelle command not found on Windows

[adam-kov]

Versions

Name	Version
Gazelle	0.26.0
rules_go	0.34.0
Bazel	5.2.0

Does this issue reproduce with the latest releases of all the above?

All of the above is the latest of releases at the time of writing this. (2022.07.27)

What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

Windows 10, 64-bit x86

What did you do?

I followed the Gazelle README setup for Bazel, then I ran the command bazel run //:gazelle in the root of a repo where I tried to set up Go and Node.js - although I got stuck with Go.

My GitHub repo can be found here

What did you expect to see?

I expected Gazelle to create a BUILD.bazel file in the go/services/core.

What did you see instead?

This was the command output:

/bin/bash: C:\Users\xxxxx\xxxxxxxxxxx\zu4tg5ct\execroot\com_github_n00pper_bazel_go_node_test\bazel-out\x64_windows-fastbuild\bin\gazelle: command not found

The bazel-* folders are generated and there are these files in the bazel-out\x64_windows-fastbuild\bin folder:

• gazelle
• gazelle-runner.bash
• gazelle.exe
• gazelle.exe.runfiles_manifest

At the moment I'm not even sure I'm using Gazelle correctly, so any clarification is appreciated.

I encountered the same problem, the same Gin Hello World project, under Windows 11, but it was normal under WSL. Based on the prompt information, I guessed that it was a file extension issue.

grep: C:\\Users\\xxxx\\_bazel_xxxx\\jik7kwyi\\execroot\\__main__\\bazel-out\\x64_windows-fastbuild\\bin\\gazelle.runfiles_manifest: No such file or directory

C:\\Users\\xxxx\\_bazel_xxxx\\jik7kwyi\\execroot\\__main__\\bazel-out\\x64_windows-fastbuild\\bin\\gazelle: warning: could not locate GOROOT used by rules_go

grep: C:\\Users\\xxxx\\_bazel_xxxx\\jik7kwyi\\execroot\\__main__\\bazel-out\\x64_windows-fastbuild\\bin\\gazelle.runfiles_manifest: No such file or directory

error: could not locate gazelle binary

There is only the "gazelle. exe. runfiles_manifest" file in this folder, and there is no "gazelle. runfiles_manifest" file.

I suggest using this tool on Linux until it improves support for Windows.

Name	Version
Gazelle	0.27.0
rules_go	0.39.0
Bazel	6.0.0

The issue seems to be with the custom find_runfiles function implemented in gazelle.bash.in

I was able to work around the problem via: bshashank@3dc2f47

(but this is still un-tested on other platforms)
